New period of snow and ice is forecast
Tuesday 29 December 2009
The weather forecast for the coming two weeks indicates that Holland is in for another period of snow with temperatures dropping to as low as minus 15, report several newspapers on Tuesday.
And there is a warning that the freezing weather will once again result in chaos for rail travellers.
Rob Hageman, spokesman for rail management company ProRail, says that while the company will do its best to ensure trains run on schedule, he could not give any guarantees, reports the free newspaper Sp!ts on Tuesday.
According to the Telegraaf, the northern province of Friesland is already speculating that the ice will be hard enough for the famous long distance ice skating marathon, the Elfstedentocht, to be held.
The weather office Meteoconsult says there is an 80% chance that people will be able to skate on natural ice as from next Sunday, reports the Telegraaf.

Lekker koud. Brilliant news!
My body is much better in the cold, pity I don't just don't like the cold as much as the warmth, but then life is just so much better with less neuro-pain in the cold.
Just wish everything else around me would work better as well in the cold.
